Coughing was pretty bad last night - turns out our household had run out of NyQuil. =( So far this morning not feeling feverish, but did take half a Dayquil dose at 7am for the cough supressant and it also has some acetaminophen as an anti-pyretic. It feels like my cough is in a positive feedback cycle where all the coughing just makes things more irritated so I cough more.
With recovery going so slowly, I think it's now clear I won't race either of the cold days - I need my lungs to get back to normal, not be set back by breathing frigid air. =( We plan to travel Friday after S's school day.
I'd like my RHR to be under 55 before I really attempt a workout. I think it should be under 50 to really race. I may get in a walk in the afternoon if the fever doesn't come back. I have not yet had 24h without fever since last Friday.

Really easy walk in a fairly flattish direction. Breathing through thick Skida buff. Didn't have a coughing fit until about 15 min in, then had a series of a few, but was able to quiet them down.
It might be the most optimistic version of this weekend is I do a white course on Sunday with Sylvia...
Feeling a bit feverish afterwards, but did feel pretty much fine (other than the coughing) during. The main issues of this illness are definitely fever and coughing, not so much fatigue.
